We are Batten Lee

Batten Lee helps make catastrophic lawsuits against our clients more predictable and more defensible. We are a national trial firm who defends hospitals, health care providers, and businesses. Based in Raleigh, our lawyers are licensed in seven states and have assisted some of the largest and most sophisticated hospital organizations in the country in venues spanning from Anchorage to New Hampshire to Fort Lauderdale. We have defended businesses in class actions and lawsuits where companies’ existence is at stake. We have taken on complex cases already underway, sometimes on the eve of trial.

This year we won a month-long birth injury trial with a life care plan and lost earnings valued at over $15 million. Shortly after that victory, we were called to assist in another birth injury case in Florida two weeks before trial with $28 million at stake. We helped a client negotiate a favorable settlement just before trial began. Our legal team includes a former practicing anesthesiologist and two former obstetricians. We have broad experience in all catastrophic torts and claims involving unfair trade practices.
